I am using a GPRS connection to access internet on my PC. I put a 226.5 MB download from gtagarage.com and since it is resumable, I paused and resumed the download whenever I wanted to. Now the download has been completed and when I extract the ZIP file with WinRAR, it says CRC failed in filename.ext. The file is corrupt. What do I do now? Remember it’s a ZIP and not a RAR.

Try to download it agin , if still you are facing corruption and damage or use an repair zip file software to recover your damaged and corrupted Zip file. This is the best to make repair your Zip folder which is inaccessible.

attempt to extract this file again into any folder. This time when WinZip halts
and presents you with a "bad CRC" error message, DON'T click the
OK button immediately. Go to the folder that WinZip uses as a temporary
unzipping folder. The location of this folder will depend upon your version of
Windows. In older versions, it was typically C:Temp, but in Windows 7 it is
C:UsersYour NameAppDataLocalTemp. If unsure, open WinZip and look
in Options / Configuration / Folders.

Once you've opened WinZip's temp folder, you should see the bad file being held
in limbo by WinZip. Make a copy of the file by using your right mouse button to
right-drag the file to a blank space within the same folder or another
destination folder, release the button, and choose Copy Here. Then go
back to the WinZip error message and click that OK button. WinZip will
take this as its cue to delete the corrupt file from its temp directory, but you
will now possess a copy that is safe from WinZip's censorship. Make sure your
copy's filename exactly matches that of the original.

well if CRC failed then you have to redownload again, othet than this you can try to extract with 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/ or to repair the zip file if possible.

BigSpeed Zipperhttp://bigspeed.net/index.php?page=bszipper
If you know the URL (address) of the file you can employ BigSpeed
Zipper (freeware) to open the contents of a ZIP file on the remote server.
You can then re-download only the file you need (instead of the whole compressed
archive).

with winrar try this method
1. Open the .rar file(s) you would like to extract.

2. Click on "Extract to"

3. In the miscellaneous options, check "Keep Broken Files".

try also Universal Extractor

The last option will be to redownload the files again using a better download manager. Also possible the file is already corrupted on their server.
